10 TV shows with crazy plots

Inspired by Three Days of the Condor, Sydney Pollack’s truly thrilling
thriller of 1975, this multilayered US conspiracy drama had, at heart, a
simple conceit: a brilliant analyst (James Badge Dale) at a shadowy
government think tank finds himself under surveillance by ominous forces
after he pokes around in the mysterious death of his ex-father-in-law.
Intelligent and tightly woven, the series unfolded at a languid pace and
only occasionally stretched credulity. AMC sadly lost patience with it,
though – and cancelled it after just one season.
